WWE SmackDown Preview: Roman Reigns’ surprise attack, big return after 7 months, two top superstars to hijack title picture? (May 7th, 2021)

#5 Natalya and Tamina go after the WWE Women’s Championships on WWE SmackDown

Both teams are expected to cross paths again on WWE SmackDown

Tamina and Natalya have impressed us with their performances on WWE SmackDown over the last few weeks. They have been dominant in their recent encounters with the reigning WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler. Both teams are expected to lock horns in a title match at WrestleMania Backlash.

Baszler and Jax successfully defended their tag team titles against Lana and Naomi on RAW earlier this week. High on momentum, the duo will look to even things out with Tamia and Natalya, who have easily bested the champions over the last few weeks. Thus, we expect another altercation between the two teams on WWE SmackDown tonight.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Tamina has openly criticized Nia Jax for being an incompetent champion. On the other hand, Natalya is tired of being overlooked and has unleashed a more aggressive side. The creative has a good opportunity to make the tag team title picture more exciting on WWE SmackDown, and hopefully, all four superstars will deliver a good feud.
